GHG emissions and Carbon intensity
Unilever reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 30 September 2020 at 779 Kt (-324 /-29.4% y-o-y).
Unilever's Scope 3 emissions was up at 61,007 Kt (
The company is committed to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2039, which translates into the estimated reduction of -3,219 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2039. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Unilever also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Dutch-British transnational consumer goods company, Unilever commits to reduce scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 100% by 2030 from a 2015 base year. The company also commits to reduce GHG emissions from the life-cycle of their products 50% per consumer use by 2030 from a 2010 base-year.
